Oranges are so a-peeling!

This week True Colours Thursday is all about Orange!I love oranges. Big juicy Jaffa’s, little tidley mandarins. Gorgeous. I adore crepe suzettes because of the orange sauce and duck l’orange is just yummy. There’s nothing like a glass of Grand Marnier orange liqueur, and I quite like Orangeboom Dutch beer even though it doesn’t taste of oranges.

And how about those Terry’s Chocolate Oranges? Whack and unwrap! As for Jaffa Cakes – I’m dribbling at the thought of them.Orang-utans are kind of orange. Well, I suppose they would be. So are carrots.

I went to a fancy dress party as a carrot once. I already had some orange jeans, and I got an orange shirt from a charity shop. I then decided to dye my hair orange and tie some green ribbons in it to look like leaves! Someone asked me if I had matching collar and cuffs and everyone laughed. I didn’t see what was funny because I was wearing short sleeves and had no cuffs.

Anyhow,I thought the dye I used would wash out but it didn’t and I was known as ginger nut for weeks afterwards!

That reminds me of the time my friend Keith dressed up as the Incredible Hulk for a New Years Eve bash. He used green food dye on his face and hands and arms and legs. But the next morning it wouldn’t wash off and he had to take time off work until he looked less like a lettuce! He was not so much Incredible Hulk – more like Incredible Sulk!!

About Me

I was born in London but I’ve spent most of my life beside the seaside.
I’m free and single and live with my cats Fuzzybut and Scruff. I have lots of friends of all ages, but not one special person if you know what I mean. I’m independent and love it.
I have a sort of best mate - you may know him, Keith of Keith’s Ramblings. He helps me with this blog. He’s old enough to be my father, but he’s more like a protective older brother.
I love life and I always have. I try to see good in everybody and everything, and sometimes this can cause problems! But my friends are always there for me. I’m so lucky.
My hobbies include knitting and writing. I am soon to get an allotment so I can grow my own vegetables and flowers.
I have a lovely job in a school and I help a teacher with her class of nine year olds. I can’t believe I get paid for it, because it’s such fun.
There really isn’t anything else to tell you!
